40、reoverCIn addition DHowever解析前面说女士进房间时男士通常站起来,这里又说年轻人和强调男女平等的长者不再遵守这种习俗,前后文是转折关系,所以用However。答案D49A.whose BwhatCwho Dwhich解析根据语法知识,这是个定语从句,先行词“most young people and some groups of elder people”在从句中作主语,所以关系代词用who或that。答案C50A.aware BsimilarCactive Dsensitive解析be sensitive to表示“对敏感”。be similar to“和相似”。答
41、案D51A.custom BregulationChabit Dprinciple解析根据文章中心意思及常识可知,这里应选A项。答案A52A.even Bno longerCstill Dno more解析然而,有些美国人已不再这样做了no longer不再。答案B53A.following Bsame Cdeed Dexample解析根据本句中表示并列关系的and以及与the连用,故选same。答案B54A.Unless BUntilCWhile DAfter解析“under way”意为“进行中”,所以用while表示“当的时候”。答案C55A.shouldnt BmustCneednt

50、分内容的第二句可知,选择篮球的学生最好尽快报名,故A项正确。根据Gym这部分内容的第三句可知,下午六点之前公园人不多,因此学生应该在六点前来到,不是正好在六点,排除B项;根据Hiking这部分内容的第二句可知,该项活动持续的时间是一个半小时,不是两个小时,排除C项;根据Swimming部分的内容可知,只有游泳技术好的学生才能参加这项活动,不是穿了游泳衣就可以,排除D项。答案A57It can be inferred from the passage that _.Astudents taking part in basketball will walk to the courtsBevery
51、student can gain admission to one of the four sportsChiking students can have a regular rest in the shade of treesDstudents taking up the four sports should bring bottles of water解析推理判断题。根据第一段第一句.requiring them to select a sport they wanted their child to play可推断,每个学生都可以参加四项活动中的一项。答案B58It can be con

54、worlds, leading naturalist. In The Future of Life, he takes us on a tour of the worlds natural resources (资源). How are they used? What has been lost? What remains and is it able to continue with the present speed of use? Wilson also points out the need to understand fully the biodiversity (生物多样性) of
55、 our earth.Wilson begins with an open letter to the pioneer in environment (环境) protection, Henry David Thoreau. He compares todays Walden Pond with that of Thoreaus day. Wilson will use such comparisons for the rest of the book. The problem is clear: man has done great damage to his home over the y
56、ears. Can the earth, with human help, be made to return to biodiversity levels that will be able to support us in the future?Biodiversity, Wilson argues, is the key to settling many problems the earth faces today. Even our agricultural crops can gain advantages from it. A mere hundred species (物种) a
57、re the basis of our food supply, of which but twenty carry the load. Wilson suggests changing this situation by looking into ten thousand species that could be made use of, which will be a way to reduce the clearing of the natural homes of plants and animals to enlarge farming areas.At the end of th
58、e book, Wilson discusses the importance of human values in considering the environment. If you are to continue to live on the earth, you may well read and act on the ideas in this book.60We learn from the text that Wilson cares most about _.Athe environment for plantsBthe biodiversity of our earthCt
59、he waste of natural resourcesDthe importance of human values解析细节理解题。根据全文描述可知,Wilson在其著作The Future of Life中非常关注生物的多样性。只是简单提到植物的生存环境,自然资源的浪费以及人类价值观的重要性。答案B61How many species are most important to our present food supply?ATwenty. BEighty.COne hundred. DTen thousand.解析细节理解题。文章第三段“A mere hundred species
60、are the basis of our food supply,of which but twenty carry the load.”指出,近一百种物种是人们基本的食物来源,然而主要依赖其中的大约二十种。carry the load意为“挑担子”。答案A62Wilson suggests that one way to keep biodiversity is to _.Alearn how to farm scientificallyBbuild homes for some dying speciesCmake it clear what to eatDuse more species
61、 for food解析细节理解题。文章第三段提到“Wilson suggests changing this situation by looking into ten thousand species that could be made use of,which will be a way to reduce the clearing of the natural homes of.”,可以看出使用更多种类的物种作为食物,是保持或促进物种多样性的方法。答案D63We can infer that the text is _.Aa description of natural resourc
62、esBa research reportCa book reviewDan introduction to a scientist解析推理判断题。通观全文可以看出,作者的写作目的是介绍Wilson的The Future of Life一书,是一篇书评。答案CC(江苏高考)It is reported that conservation groups in North America have been arguing about the benefits and dangers of wolves.Some groups believe wolves should be killed.Othe
63、r people believe wolves must be protected so that they will not disappear from the wilderness(荒野)For Killing WolvesIn Alaska,the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago,because hunters were killing hundreds of them for sport.However,laws were established to protect the wolves from sportsmen and peop
64、le who catch the animals for their fur.So the wolf population has greatly increased.Now there are so many wolves that they are destroying their own food supply.A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family.People in the wilderness also hunt deer for food.Many of the animals have been destroyed by
65、 the very cold winters recently and by changes in the wilderness plant life.When the deer cant find enough food,they die.If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer,their prey(猎物)will disappear some day.And the wolves will,too.So we must change the cycle of life in the wilderness to balance
66、 the ecology.If we killed more wolves,we would save them and their prey from dying out.Wed also save some farm animals. In another northern state,wolves attack cows and chickens for food.Farmers want the government to send biologists to study the problem.They believe it necessary to kill wolves in s
67、ome areas and to protect them in places where there is a small wolf population.Against Killing WolvesIf you had lived long ago,you would have heard many different stories about the dangerous wolf.According to most stories,hungry wolves often kill people for food.Even today,the stories of the“big bad
68、 wolf”will not disappear.But the fact is wolves are afraid of people,and they seldom travel in areas where there is a human smell.When wolves eat other animals,they usually kill the very young,or the sick and injured.The strongest survive.No kind of animal would have survived through the centuries i
69、f the weak members had lived.That has always been a law of nature. Although some people say it is good sense to kill wolves,we say it is nonsense!Researchers have found wolves and their prey living in balance.The wolves keep the deer population from becoming too large,and that keeps a balance in the
70、 wilderness plant life.The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live are being used by people.Even if wilderness land is not used directly for human needs,the wolves cant always find enough food.So they travel to the nearest source,which is often a farm.Then there is danger.The“big bad wo
71、lf”has arrived!And everyone knows what happens next.64According to the passage,some people in North America favor killing wolves for all the following reasons EXCEPT that_.Athere are too many wolvesBthey kill large numbers of deerCthey attack cows and chickens for foodDthey destroy the wilderness pl
72、ant life解析细节理解题。从For Killing Wolves部分看出:第一段最后一句说明狼多是猎狼的原因之一,A项正确;第二段和第三段说明狼杀死大量的鹿是猎狼的原因之一,B项正确;第四段说明狼袭击农民的牛和鸡是猎狼的原因之一,C项正确。由此可知答案为D项,文章没有说明作为食肉动物的狼对野生植物的破坏程度。答案D65Some people are against killing wolves because_.Awolves help to keep the ecological balance in the wildernessBthere is too small a wolf p
73、opulation in the wildernessCthere are too many deer in the wildernessDwolves are afraid of people and never attack people解析细节理解题。从Against Killing Wolves部分的第二段和第三段看出,狼猎食其他动物,使其他动物优胜劣汰、适者生存,符合自然界的法则;并且研究表明狼和鹿等其猎物数量保持平衡,避免了鹿群过度膨胀,也保护了野生植物的平衡,因此答案为A项。答案A66According to those against killing wolves,when w
74、olves eat other animals,_.Athey never eat strong and healthy ones Bthey always go against the law of natureCthey might help this kind of animals survive in natureDthey disturb the ecological balance in the wilderness解析细节理解题。根据Against Killing Wolves部分的第二段第二句可知,狼通常吃幼小和有病的动物,但不是从来不吃,故A项错误;由这部分第二段最后一句可知
75、,B项错误;由此部分第三段最后一句可知,D项错误;由此部分第二段可知,狼猎食其他动物使它们优胜劣汰,并长期生存下去,故C项正确。答案C67The last sentence“And everyone knows what happens next”implies that in such cases_.Afarm animals will be in danger and have to be shipped awayBwolves will kill people and people will in turn kill themCwolves will find enough food s
76、ources on farmsDpeople will leave the areas where wolves can live解析推理判断题。从文章的最后一段看出,狼生存的环境遭到人为破坏,找不到足够的食物,就会来到农场等地方觅食,“狼来了”带来的结果必然是“人狼互相残杀”。答案BD(全国)How words came into being is unknown.All we assume(推测)is that some early men invented certain sounds,in one way or another,to express thoughts and feeli
77、ngs,actions and things,so that they could talk with each other.Later they agreed upon certain signs,called letters,which could be put together to show those sounds,and which could be written down.Those sounds,whether spoken or written in letters,are called words. The power of words,then,lies in thei
78、r associationsthe things they bring up to our minds.Words become filled with meaning for us by experience;and the longer we live,the more certain words bring back to us the happy and sad events of our past;and the more we read and learn,the more the number of words that mean something to us increase
79、s. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which have powerful effects on our minds and feelings.This clever use of words is what we call literary style(文体)Above all,the real poet is a master of words.He can express his meaning in words which
80、 sing like music,and which by their position and association can move men to tears.We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly,or they will make our speech silly and common.68We learn from the text that language might have begun with _.Aexpressions Bactions Csigns
81、Dsounds解析推理判断题。根据文章第一段可知,语言可能最早是从声音开始的。答案D69What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?AThe learning of new words.BThe importance of old words.CThe relation of human experience with words.DThe gradual change and development of words.解析主旨大意题。第二段主要介绍词汇和人们的经历之间的关系,特别是根据本段的第二句“Words become filled with mean
82、ing for us by experience”可知答案为C项。答案C70In the last paragraph,what does the author suggest that we should do?AUse words skilfully.BMake musical speeches.CLearn poems by heart.DAssociate with listeners.解析推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly.”可以推知
83、,作者建议我们熟练运用语言。答案A第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshoppingwatching TV and buying things by phone. _71_ In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes,jewelry, food, toys, and many other t
